Recorded words act like flash cards, allowing you to practice whenever the time is right. The app also includes reminders, search, and iCloud integration.

If you want to learn a new language on your own terms, Wordfolio is for you. It’s a flashcard system on steroids.

Super Hexagon

Distractionware Limited

Spin to the sound of the music to survive in Super Hexagon.

It’s basically for anyone looking for a challenge.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Super Hexagon may not look like much at first glance, but just one taste of the silky smooth gameplay will keep you coming back for more. The objective is simple: spin a little triangle around the screen in order to avoid the shapes collapsing around you. Each time barrier you cross will cause a new shape to take form and a new, more difficult challenge to conquer. Survive for as long as possible to climb the leaderboards.

Super Hexagon is a visually modest game, but there’s nothing like it in terms of gameplay in the App Store. If you haven’t tried it by now, you must. It’s mobile gaming perfection.

It’s brutally difficult, and it will test your patience.

Improve anything and everything about yourself with Perfect Me.

It’s ideal for those who want to push themselves to get something done.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Perfect Me is all about self improvement. The idea is to create a list of things you want to accomplish each day. Your list can be as long or as short as you wish. Then choose a convenient time to review your list, and you’ll receive a push notification. Go through each item on your list answering if you’ve completed it or not. The app keeps track of how efficient you’ve been through general stat tracking and a calendar.

If you need to itemize your day, this is an easy way to do it. You provide the questions, it provides the answers.

If you simply want a standard task manager, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

You're able to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. You can scale, apply filters, and adjust the parameters of your photo. Then write anything you want on it, whether that's a poem or a caption. You're able to add as few or as many words as you want and manipulate them with common gesture controls. Your unique creations can be shared via email, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, or Twitter.

If you want to say something with your photos, Poetics will help you out. If you come up with something worth sharing, don’t forget to use the hashtag #poetics on Instagram and Twitter.

If you want an all-out photo editing app, Poetics isn’t it. There are a few effects and editing options to choose from, but Poetic’s focus is on your words.
